First Edition, seventh printing. With spot drawings from THE NEW YORKER. 8vo, full black cloth with gilt on spine. In the original dustjacket. xxiv, 232. A fine copy. A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF PARIS IN THE 20s & 30s. Writing under the pen name Genet, Janet Flanner wrote the "Letter from Paris" column in the New Yorker magazine. Collected here are her best columns from 1925-1939. Thus there are contemporaneous accounts of exciting things like Lindbergh's arrival in Paris on 21 May 1927, and the riot on Feb 6, 1934, connected to the Stavisky scandal. Flanner has incisive comments on prominent people who died in Paris such as Clemenceau in 1929 and Marshall Foch that same year, and of Edith Wharton in 1937. Flanner is very readable, pertinent and often funny. It was a fantastic stretch of years, made more poignant by what we know came immediately after it.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Signed and Inscribed copy of one of Janet Flanner's most loved works. This is a 3rd printing of the hardcover, inscribed on the front free endpaper in characteristic shakey hand "to Bill Dale with best regards." Above that Bill Dale has printed his own name and marked "Christmas 1972" in sharpie. No marks besides these, the interior is bright and clean. The binding is solid, sound, tight, square. Black cloth is clean with occasional dust spotting, but attractive, and with bright gilt lettering. Red topstain has a couple of lightly rubbed parts but still bold. Dustjacket has very minor chipping at corners as well as at the crown of the DJ spine, where there is also some light creasing and a small closed tear. Some other light wear besides, but overall attractive, and DJ now in brodart. Laid in is a flier for a reading event by Flanner where it is presumed that Bill Dale obtained the authors signature. Inscribed by Author(s).
